Ok, so after I heard you guys talking about it I decided to download it, but I am getting this messege whenever I try to get a file list from a user

<[BOT]Keeper> Invalid IP in ConnectToMe, this might be because of in passive mode

Does any one know what this is all about?

[Fleischmann]

As far as I know you can't download stuff from other members in passive mode.

[Nemisis8u]

Whats passive mode and how do I turn it off?

[redbaron]

I know such problems, in my case it's the hub why I get an invalid IP

[Fleischmann]

I think passive mode is when your behind a firewall. If tha';s your situation then stay in that mode, if not then go to 'File'===>'Settings'===>'General' and switch from 'passive' to 'active'.

[Nemisis8u]

Thnx, I tired that and it is already in active mode WTF?

[Fleischmann]

Damn...I ain't got a clue WTF is wrong....sorry m8 :(

Anyway, ya should ask Fishfreak, he's the expert around here :)

I know DC++ has a website. They might be able to assist.

[Fleischmann]

www.hublist.org has a lot of info...

I think that it has something to do with the fact that I have a network. Basically the only program that works for me is kazaa. Bittorent doesnt work, emule doesnt work, agent doesnt work so basically all the good stuff doesnt work. I think that it has something to do with the ports that my router operates on. Now all I have to do is figure out how to open some of them :(
